"Dark ruby with orange tinges. Undeniably concentrated on the nose and with a hint of damson, but still a little brooding and with minerally, saline notes and a hint of morocco leather. Bags of tangy fruit on the palate that is at the same time composed and with gorgeous gravelly tannins. Great length and lots of juice on the finish. Can be approached now but has all the building blocks to age gracefully. Proper old-school stuff. (WS) 14%"

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Poggio Cerrino grumbles up from the glass with an earthy bouquet that blends crushed rocks with savory herbs, olive and clove. This displays textures of pure silk offset by cooling acidity as ripe red and black fruit slowly saturate. A bitter dark chocolate tinge develops through the close as the 2019 finishes youthfully tense and structured with fine tannins that frame the experience nicely."
